(a) The Company hereby agrees to sell, and each Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, Notes in an aggregate principal amount, and shares of Preferred Stock up to an aggregate liquidation preference, each as set forth opposite the name of each Purchaser on

 

1


Schedule 1. The terms and conditions regarding the sale and purchase of the Notes and Preferred Stock are as set forth herein. Each share of Preferred Stock initially shall have a liquidation preference of $100.

 

(b) All Notes shall be issued at the Initial Closing (as defined below), and the entire amount payable by each Purchaser in respect of the Notes shall be payable to the Company, in immediately available funds. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Preferred Stock shall be issued at the Subsequent Closing (as defined below), and payment therefor will be payable by each Purchaser to the Company in immediately available funds.

 

Section 1.4 Right to Unpurchased Shares

 

In the event that any Purchaser elects not to purchase any shares of Preferred Stock at the Subsequent Closing in accordance with the provisions of Article IIIA hereof, each of the other Purchasers shall have the right to purchase such unpurchased shares of Preferred Stock. If more than one Purchaser wishes to purchase such unpurchased shares, the unpurchased shares shall be allocated among such Purchasers pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Preferred Stock initially allocated to such Purchasers under this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE II

 

CLOSINGS

 

Section 2.1 Initial Closing

 

The sale of the Notes to the Purchasers shall take place at the offices of Mayer, Brown & Platt, 1675 Broadway, New York, New York 10019, at 10:00 a.m., New York time, at a closing (the “Initial Closing”) on July 17, 2000. At the Initial Closing, the Company will issue to Purchasers Notes registered in each Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), evidencing the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser against payment of the consideration payable by such Purchaser for such Notes. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, at the Closing, each Purchaser’s Notes.

 

Section 2.2 Subsequent Closing

The Purchasers shall be obligated to remit to the Company $150 million of the Commitment Amount (as defined below) no later than on the third Business Day following the Subsequent Closing. Any Commitment Amount in excess of $150 million shall be remitted to the Company by the Purchasers no later than ten Business Days after receipt of a demand for funding from the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors. Funding shall be made pro-rata, based on the Commitment Amount for each Purchaser. All

 

2


remittances of Commitment Amounts by the Purchasers shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company. The Commitments shall remain in full force and effect for three years from the date of the Subsequent Closing.

 

(b) The Purchasers (which, subject to Section 2.2(i), shall include any Affiliate assignee thereof) may deliver to the Company commitment letters to purchase Preferred Stock, stating the amount of liquidation preference thereof (the “Commitment Amount”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Commitments”), beginning on the date of the written order of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit relating to the FCC Litigation (the “FCC Decision Date”). If any Purchaser does not deliver its Commitment to the Company by the close of business on the Commitment Determination Date (as defined below) then such Purchaser’s right to purchase Preferred Stock hereunder shall be rescinded and terminated.

 

(c) Each Purchaser and the Company shall make any necessary filings for approvals under the Hart/Scott/Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act (the “HSR Act”) not later than the fifth Business Day following the Initial Closing and each Purchaser shall simultaneously provide the Company with notice and a copy of such filing. The Purchasers shall immediately notify the Company upon receipt of the applicable approvals under the HSR Act.

 

(d) If as of the close of business on the fifteenth Business Day following the FCC Decision Date (such fifteenth Business Day, the “Commitment Determination Date”) the aggregate Commitment Amount is at least $245 million, the Subsequent Closing shall occur on a date determined by the Company as soon as practicable after all necessary approvals under the HSR Act are received by the Company and each Purchaser. On the Business Day following the Commitment Determination Date, the Company shall notify each Purchaser of the aggregate Commitment Amount as of the close of business on the Commitment Determination Date.

 

(e) If as of the close of business on the Commitment Determination Date the aggregate Commitment Amount is less than $245 million, the following shall occur:

 

(i) Each Purchaser shall have the right to terminate its Commitment and rescind its purchase of Preferred Stock by written notice delivered to the Company no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Commitment Determination Date, and such Purchaser’s Commitment shall terminate.

 

(ii) The Commitments of the Purchasers (including, subject to Section 2.2(i), any Affiliate assignee thereof) who do not terminate their Commitments pursuant to paragraph (e)(i) above, shall become irrevocable, and such Purchasers shall have an exclusive right of first refusal to commit to purchase additional shares of Preferred Stock during the seven Business Days following the Commitment Determination Date by delivering the corresponding additional Commitments to the Company. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable pro-rata, based on the total Commitment Amount for each Purchaser as of the close of business on the Business Day following the Commitment Determination Date.

 

3


(f) If as of the close of business on the seventh Business Day after the Commitment Determination Date the aggregate Commitment Amount is still less than $245 million, the Company shall have the right, during the eighth through the twentieth Business Day following the Commitment Determination Date, to accept Commitments from additional purchasers of Preferred Stock, subject to the same terms and conditions as the Purchasers, in order to reach the $245 million aggregate amount. After the Subsequent Closing, any additional funding of Commitments made by any additional purchaser of Preferred Stock pursuant to this subsection (f) shall be made in an amount equal to the Commitment Amount corresponding to such additional purchaser multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is $150 million and the denominator of which is the aggregate Commitment Amount as of the Subsequent Closing.

 

(g) Notwithstanding paragraph (f) above, if as of twelve o’clock noon, New York, time on the seventh Business Day after the Commitment Determination Date the aggregate Commitment Amount is at least $150 million, the Subsequent Closing shall occur on the seventh Business Day following the Commitment Determination Date or a later date determined by the Company, provided that all necessary approvals under the HSR Act have been received by the Company and the applicable Purchasers.

 

(h) If as of the close of business on the twentieth Business Day after the Commitment Determination Date the aggregate Commitment Amount is less than $150 million, the purchase of the Preferred Stock shall be rescinded, and the Commitments shall terminate.

 

(i) Any Purchaser may purchase Preferred Stock hereunder in conjunction with only the following: (i) any of its Affiliates and (ii) any of its partners, limited partners or members of such Purchaser that are transferees of Preferred Stock pursuant to distributions in accordance with the partnership agreement or operating agreement of such Purchaser or its Affiliates; provided, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, that such Purchaser retains the voting rights relating to such Preferred Stock.

Section 4.1 Organization; Power and Authority

 

The Company and each subsidiary is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly qualified to conduct business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each subsidiary has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Notes and the Preferred Stock and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof. The copies of the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, each as amended to date, which have been furnished to counsel for the Purchasers, are correct and complete at the date hereof. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any material agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or government regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for violations which, singly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 4.2 Authorization

 

Each of the Transaction Documents, at the time of execution and delivery of such document and at the Initial Closing and Subsequent Closing, as applicable, shall have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of each Transaction Document by each of the other parties thereto, each of the Transaction Documents shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited (i) by

 

9


applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) to the extent that rights to indemnification and contribution may be limited by the federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto. Other than as may be required under the Hart/Scott/Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act, as amended, and Regulation D under the Securities Act (which filing shall be made by the Company in accordance therewith), no consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority including, without limitation, the FCC, is required of the Company in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

Section 4.3 Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries

 

Schedule 2 sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Subsidiaries of the Company and the jurisdiction of organization of each. Each Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified to conduct business as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

 

Section 4.4 Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, etc

As a condition to any transfer, the Company may require such certificates or opinions as it reasonably deems necessary to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

 

Section 8.2 Registration of Securities

 

The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register (the “Securities Register”) for the registration, registration of transfers and conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock and Notes. The name and address of each Holder of one or more Notes or shares of Preferred Stock, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes or shares of Preferred Stock shall be registered in such Securities Register. Prior to due presentment for

 

27


registration of transfer the Person in whose name any Notes or shares of Preferred Stock shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.

Section 8.3 Transfer and Exchange

 

Upon surrender of any Notes or certificates representing shares of Preferred Stock at the principal executive office of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered Holder of such Note or stock certificate or his attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the address for notices of each transferee of such Note or stock certificate or part thereof), the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense, one or more new Notes or stock certificates, as applicable (as requested by the Holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note, or for the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered stock certificate.

ARTICLE IX

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 9.1 Indemnification.

 

(a) The Company agrees to defend, indemnify, save and hold each Purchaser and its affiliates and its partners, members, stockholders, directors, officers, employees and (parties receiving the benefit of the indemnification agreement herein shall be referred to collectively as “Indemnified Parties” and individually as an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, lawsuits, deficiencies, claims, taxes and expenses (whether or not arising out of third-party claims), including, as incurred, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing which may be sustained or suffered by any such Indemnified Party (a “Loss” or “Losses”), based upon, arising, out of, resulting from, by reason of or otherwise in respect of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in any Transaction Document, or any breach of any covenant or agreement made by or on behalf of the Company in any Transaction Document; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party or Parties shall be entitled to indemnification by the Company hereunder with respect to any costs, losses, liabilities, damages, lawsuits, deficiencies, claims, taxes and expenses arising primarily (i) out of or based primarily upon the wilful misconduct, gross negligence or malfeasance (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) of the Indemnified Party or Parties, or (ii) out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or an omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relating to information provided by or on behalf of the Purchasers or an Indemnified Party or Parties.

 

(b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 9.1(a) above for any reason is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities referred to therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the Indemnified Party in connection with the inaccuracy or breach which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

 

(c) The indemnification and contribution provided for in this Section 9.1 will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or any officer, director, partner, employee or agent of any Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 9.1 are in addition to and shall supplement those set forth in the Stockholders Agreement which shall apply in the case of the registration and sale of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) held by any of the Indemnified Parties registered pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement.

 

29


Section 9.2 Notice; Defense of Claims.

 

(a) Promptly; and in any event no later than ten (10) days, after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any third party or other claim, liability or expense to which the indemnification obligations under Section 9.1 would apply, including in connection with any governmental proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall give notice thereof in writing to the Company, but the omission to so notify the Company promptly will not relieve the Company from any liability except to the extent that the Company shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of the failure or delay in giving such notice. Such notice shall state the information then available regarding the amount and nature of such claim, liability or expense and shall specify the provision or provisions of this Agreement under which the liability or obligation is asserted.

 

(b) In the case of any third party claim, if within twenty (20) days after receiving the notice described in the preceding paragraph, the Company gives written notice to the Indemnified Party or Parties stating that it intends to defend in good faith against such claim, liability or expense at its own cost and expense, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the Company (subject to the consent of such Indemnified Party or Parties which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Indemnified Party or Parties shall not be required to make any payment with respect to such claim, liability or expense as long as the Company is conducting a good faith and diligent defense at its own expense; provided, however, that the assumption of defense of any such matters by the Company shall relate solely to the claim, liability or expense that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification. The Company shall not settle or agree to settle any such claim, liability or expense or any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party. The Company shall keep such Indemnified Party or Parties reasonably apprised of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action, shall furnish such Indemnified Party or Parties with all documents and information that such Indemnified Party or Parties shall reasonably request and shall consult with such Indemnified Party or Parties prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, such Indemnified Party or Parties shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the Company and the Indemnified Party or Parties and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the expense of separate counsel for such Indemnified Party or Parties shall be paid by the Company provided, further, that the counsel for the Indemnified Party or Parties must be reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Indemnified Party or Parties as to quality and cost, it being understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for such Indemnified Party or Parties. If no such notice of intent to dispute and defend is given by the Company, or if such diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, such Indemnified Party or Parties shall, at the expense of the Company, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by such Indemnified Party or Parties), and shall have the right to compromise or settle, such claim, liability or expense with the consent of the Company, which will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, if such consent is requested and the Company does not respond within ten (10) business

 

30


days, the Company shall be deemed to have consented. If such claim, liability or expense is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the Company, then the Indemnified Party or Parties shall make available all information and assistance that Company may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the Company in such defense.

 

Section 9.3 Survival of Representations and Warranties

 

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and Preferred Stock, the purchase or transfer of any Preferred Stock and Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any amounts under the Notes or Preferred Stock, and may be relied upon by any subsequent Holder of Preferred Stock or Notes, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of the Purchasers or any other Holder of Preferred Stock or Notes. All representations and warranties contained herein shall expire on the second anniversary of the Subsequent Closing. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement.

 

Section 9.4 Amendment and Waiver

 

Provisions of this Agreement relating to the Notes, and of the Notes, may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders of the Notes; and provisions of this Agreement relating to the Preferred Stock, and of the Certificate of Designations, may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Certificate of Designations may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders of the Preferred Stock, except that no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holders of 66% of the shares of Preferred Stock and/or Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (a) with respect to the Notes only, and subject to the provisions thereof relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal to, reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest on, or extend the maturity date of, the Notes or (b) change the definition of Required Holders. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 9.4 applies equally to all Holders of Notes or Preferred Stock and is binding upon them and upon each future Holder of any Notes or Preferred Stock and upon the Company without regard to whether such Notes or Preferred Stock have been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder of any Notes or Preferred Stock nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Notes or Preferred Stock shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder of such Notes or Preferred Stock.

“The Company has authorized the issuance and sale of its Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of up to $300 million, which may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement.

Section C. Subsequent Closing. Section 2.2 of the Agreement hereby is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following

 

“(a) The initial sale of the Preferred Stock shall occur in three stages on three purchase dates, the first being the “Subsequent Closing”, the second being the “Second Preferred Closing” and the third being the “Third Preferred Closing”, each of which respective dates shall be determined as set forth below and shall be subject to the conditions set forth herein; provided, that additional sales of any remaining Commitments in excess of $150 million may occur after the Third Preferred Closing as set forth below. Each sale of the Preferred Stock shall take place at the location as agreed to by the Purchasers and the Company, or in the absence of such agreement, then at the offices of counsel for the single largest Purchaser of Preferred Stock. In connection with the funding of the first $150 million of the Commitment Amount (as defined below) to complete the purchase of Preferred Stock, the Purchasers shall be obligated to remit to the Company funds for their purchase of Preferred Stock on the following funding dates: (i) $25 million of the Commitment Amount shall be remitted no later than on the third (3rd) Business Day after the Subsequent Closing; (ii) up to $25 million of the Commitment Amount shall be remitted no later than on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Second Preferred Closing, which amount and purchase date shall be determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date of such remittance for the Second Preferred Closing shall occur no earlier than January 2, 2001; and (iii) up to $100 million of the Commitment Amount (plus, any amount of the $25 million that has not been funded in connection with the Second Preferred Closing) shall be remitted no later than on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Third Preferred Closing, which amount and purchase date shall be determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date of such remittance for the Third Preferred Closing shall occur no earlier than January 2, 2001. In connection with the Third Preferred Closing, each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and pay for the Preferred Stock to be sold to such Purchaser at the Third Preferred Closing is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, prior to or at the

 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 2


Commitment Revocation Date, of the conditions set forth in Sections 3A.1, 3A.2, 3A.3, 3A.10 and 3A.12; provided that each such Section is applied by substituting the “Commitment Revocation Date” for any references to the “Subsequent Closing”.

 

After the Third Preferred Closing, any remaining Commitment Amount in excess of $150 million shall be remitted to the Company by the Purchasers no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a demand for funding from the Company to purchase Preferred Stock up to the remaining Commitment Amount. After the Third Preferred Closing, any demand from the Company to the Purchasers to fund up to the remaining Commitment Amount shall be authorized by the Board of Directors and approved by the Company in the same manner as provided in section 3.1 of the Stockholders Agreement regarding “Supermajority Voting Rights.” In each of the preceding cases, funding shall be made pro-rata, based on the Commitment Amount for each Purchaser (inclusive of the original principal amount of the Notes), subject to subsections (f) and (k)(iii) below. Each purchase of Preferred Stock shall be at a price of $100 per share. All remittances of funds for the Commitment Amounts by the Purchasers shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2, each Purchaser’s Commitment shall remain in full force and effect for three years from the date of the Subsequent Closing and, to the extent not drawn, shall then terminate.

 

(b) The Purchasers (which, subject to Section 2.2(i), shall include any Affiliate assignee thereof) may deliver to the Company commitment letters to purchase Preferred Stock up to an aggregate liquidation preference not to exceed the amounts set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule 1 hereto, stating the amount of liquidation preference thereof (the “Commitment Amount”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Commitments”), beginning on the date of the written order of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit relating to the FCC Litigation (the “FCC Decision Date”). If any Purchaser does not deliver its Commitment to the Company by the close of business on the Commitment Determination Date (as defined below) then such Purchaser’s right to purchase Preferred Stock hereunder shall be rescinded and terminated and any rights, benefits, warranties, duties and covenants hereunder relating to the Preferred Stock of such Purchaser shall be terminated, nullified and of no further force and effect, except with respect to, and only to the extent of, the Preferred Stock acquired by such Purchaser through the conversion of its Notes (if any) into Preferred Stock.

 

(c) Each Purchaser and the Company shall make any necessary filings for approvals under the Hart/Scott/Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act (the “HSR Act”) not later than the fifth Business Day following the Initial Closing and each Purchaser shall simultaneously provide the Company with notice and a copy of such filing; provided that the New Purchasers and the Company shall make any necessary filings for approvals under the HSR Act not later than five (5) Business Days after the Commitment Determination Date. Each Purchaser shall immediately notify the Company upon receipt of the applicable approvals under the HSR Act. In the event that the New Purchasers have not obtained the applicable approval under the HSR Act on the date of the Subsequent Closing or the Second Preferred Closing, then the New Purchasers shall fund the appropriate portion of its Commitment Amount into an escrow account and the

 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 3


Company shall deliver their respective shares of Preferred Stock to the escrow agent, in each case subject to an escrow agreement to be mutually agreed on by Pacific and the Company, and such funds shall be released to the Company and such shares shall be released to the New Purchasers upon the receipt of notice of such approval. For the purposes of calculating dividends and distributions with respect to any shares of Preferred Stock placed in an escrow account pursuant to this Section 2.2(c), such shares of Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been purchased by the New Purchasers on the same date as the other Purchasers.

 

(d) If as of the close of business on the (15th) fifteenth Business Day following the FCC Decision Date (such fifteenth Business Day, the “Commitment Determination Date”) the aggregate Commitment Amount is at least $295 million, the Subsequent Closing shall occur on a date determined by the Company as soon as practicable after all necessary approvals under the HSR Act (other than with respect to the purchase of Preferred Stock by the New Purchasers) are received by the Company and each Purchaser. No later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Commitment Determination Date, the Company shall notify each Purchaser of the aggregate Commitment Amount as of the close of business on the Commitment Determination Date.

 

(e) If as of the close of business on the Commitment Determination Date the aggregate Commitment Amount is less than $295 million, the following shall occur:

 

(i) Each Purchaser shall have the right to terminate its Commitment and rescind its purchase of Preferred Stock by notice delivered to the Company no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Commitment Determination Date (provided that the Company has delivered its notice pursuant to paragraph (d) above), and such Purchaser’s Commitment shall terminate.

 

(ii) Each Purchaser’s Commitment (including, subject to Section 2.2(i), any Affiliate assignee thereof), which has not been terminated pursuant to paragraph (e)(i) above, shall become irrevocable, subject to revocation, cancellation and/or termination pursuant to subsections 2.2(h), 2.2(j) and/or 2.2(k)(v) below. During the seven (7) Business Days following the Commitment Determination Date, each such Purchaser shall have an exclusive right of first refusal to commit to purchase additional shares of Preferred Stock that were not subject to Commitments by delivering the corresponding additional Commitments to the Company. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable pro-rata, based on the Purchaser’s respective share of the total Commitment Amount (inclusive of the original principal amount of the Notes) as of the close of business on the Business Day following the Commitment Determination Date.

 

(f) If as of the close of business on the seventh (7th) Business Day after the Commitment Determination Date the aggregate Commitment Amount is still less than $295 million, the Company shall have the right, during the eighth (8th) through the twentieth (20th) Business Days following the Commitment Determination Date, to accept Commitments from additional purchasers of Preferred Stock, subject to the same terms

 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 4


and conditions as the Purchasers, in order to reach the $295 million aggregate amount. If any additional purchasers deliver a Commitment to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this subsection (f), then such additional purchaser shall fund its purchase of Preferred Stock in respect of a purchase date in a manner that results, after such funding, in such additional purchaser having funded the same percentage of its Commitment Amount as the other Purchasers have funded of their Commitment Amounts (inclusive of the original principal amount of the Notes).

 

(g) Notwithstanding paragraph (f) above, if as of 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the fourth (4th) Business Day after the Commitment Determination Date or any Business Day thereafter subject to subsection 2.2(h) the aggregate Commitment Amount is at least $150 million, the Subsequent Closing involving the purchase of $25 million of Preferred Stock shall occur on the fourth (4th) Business Day following the Commitment Determination Date or a later date determined by the Company, provided that all necessary approvals under the HSR Act (other than with respect to the purchase of Preferred Stock by the New Purchasers) have been received by the Company and the applicable Purchasers. After the Subsequent Closing, the Second Preferred Closing involving the purchase of the next $25 million of Preferred Stock shall occur on a date as determined by the Board of Directors; provided that the Purchasers receive at least three (3) Business Days prior notice of such date; provided, however, that the date of such remittance for the Second Preferred Closing shall occur no earlier than January 2, 2001, and that all necessary approvals under the HSR Act (other than with respect to the purchase of Preferred Stock by the New Purchasers) have been received by the Company and the applicable Purchasers.

 

(h) If as of the close of business on the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the Commitment Determination Date the aggregate Commitment Amount is less than $150 million, the purchase of the Preferred Stock shall be cancelled in its entirety, and the Commitments shall terminate.

 

(i) Any Purchaser may purchase Preferred Stock hereunder in conjunction with only the following: (i) any of its Affiliates, (ii) any of its partners, limited partners or members of such Purchaser that are transferees of Preferred Stock pursuant to distributions in accordance with the partnership agreement or operating agreement of such Purchaser or its Affiliates and (iii) in the case of Pacific, GC Dev. Co., Inc. (and, if it purchases Preferred Stock, shall also constitute a “New Purchaser”); provided, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, that such Purchaser retains the voting rights relating to such Preferred Stock, other than with respect to any transfers by Pacific to its Affiliate, Pacific Capital Partners I, L.P. (also known as Pacific Colony V, L.P.), or to GC Dev. Co., Inc., pursuant to which the voting rights will also be transferred.

 

(j) An “Optional Revocation Date” shall occur upon the earlier of (A) the date on which the U.S. Supreme Court in connection with the NextWave litigation either grants or denies both the petition for writ of certiorari in case number 00-447 and the petition for rehearing of writ of certiorari in case number 99-1980, or (B) January 18, 2001. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein (other than the funding of the Commitments in connection with the Subsequent Closing and the Second Preferred Closing), upon the delivery of notice to each Purchaser that an Optional Revocation Date

 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 5


has occurred, each Purchaser shall have ten (10) Business Days to notify the Company that such Purchaser is revoking all of its remaining unfunded Commitment and upon the Company’s receipt of such notice such Purchaser’s remaining unfunded Commitment shall be revoked and terminated.

 

(k) If as of the close of business on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Optional Revocation Date (the “Commitment Revocation Date”) one or more Purchasers have revoked their Commitments (the collective Commitment Amount so revoked being the “Commitment Deficiency”), then the following shall occur:

 

(i) No later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Commitment Revocation Date, the Company shall notify each Purchaser of the aggregate Commitment Amount as of the close of business on the Commitment Revocation Date and any Commitment Deficiency. Except with respect to the Purchaser’s portion of its Commitment Amount attributable to the first $50 million of the aggregate Commitment Amount, each Purchaser shall have the right to terminate its Commitment and rescind its future purchase of Preferred Stock by notice delivered to the Company no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Commitment Revocation Date (provided that the Company has delivered its notice pursuant to this paragraph (k) (i)), and such Purchaser’s Commitment shall terminate.

 

(ii) Each Purchaser’s Commitment (including, subject to Section 2.2(i), any Affiliate assignee thereof), which has not been terminated or revoked pursuant to paragraph (j) or (k)(i) above, shall become irrevocable and noncancellable as of the close of business on the Business Day after the Commitment Revocation Date, provided that the Purchaser’s Commitment shall be subject to cancellation and termination pursuant to paragraph (k)(v) below. During the seven (7) Business Days following the Commitment Revocation Date, each such Purchaser shall have an exclusive right of first refusal to commit to purchase additional shares of Preferred Stock that are attributable to the Commitment Deficiency by delivering the corresponding additional Commitments to the Company. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable pro-rata, based on the total Commitment Amount for each Purchaser (inclusive of the original principal amount of the Notes) as of the close of business on the Business Day following the Commitment Revocation Date.

 

(iii) If as of the close of business on the seventh (7th) Business Day after the Commitment Revocation Date there still exists any Commitment Deficiency, then the Company shall have the right, during the eighth (8th) through the (20th) twentieth Business Days following the Commitment Revocation Date, to accept Commitments from additional purchasers of Preferred Stock, subject to the same terms and conditions as the Purchasers, in order to eliminate any remaining Commitment Deficiency. After the Second Preferred Closing, if any additional purchaser delivers a Commitment to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this subsection (k), then such additional purchaser shall fund its purchase of Preferred Stock in respect of a purchase date in a manner that results, after such funding, in such additional purchaser having funded the same percentage of its

 

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 6


share of the Commitment Amount as the other Purchasers have funded of their share of the Commitment Amounts (inclusive of the original principal amount of the Notes).

 

(iv) Notwithstanding paragraph (iii) above, if as of 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the seventh (7th) Business Day after the Commitment Revocation Date the aggregate Commitment Amount is at least $150 million, the Third Preferred Closing involving the purchase of up to $100 million (plus, any amount of the $25 million that has not been funded in connection with the Second Preferred Closing) of Preferred Stock shall occur on the seventh (7th) Business Day following the Commitment Revocation Date or a later date determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date on which funds are remitted for such Third Preferred Closing shall occur on the later of ten (10) Business Days after the Third Preferred Closing or January 2, 2001.

 

(v) If as of the close of business on the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the Commitment Revocation Date the aggregate Commitment Amount is less than $150 million, any remaining unfunded Commitments to purchase Preferred Stock shall be rescinded and cancelled, and all Commitments shall be deemed to have terminated as of the Commitment Revocation Date.

 

(l) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth in this Article II to the contrary, in the event that the Company’s PCS licenses are revoked by the FCC, then any remaining unfunded Commitments to purchase Preferred Stock shall be rescinded and cancelled, and all Commitments shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such revocation.”

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

dated as of December 12, 2000

 

Reference is hereby made to the SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of July 17, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of November 13, 2000 (as so amended, the “Agreement”), by and among MetroPCS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule 2 thereto (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) and each of the PURCHASERS listed on Schedule 1 thereto (collectively, together with their successors and assigns, the “Purchasers”).

 

This AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of December 12, 2000 (this “Amendment No. 2”) between the Company, the Subsidiaries and each of the Purchasers is entered into pursuant to Section 9.4 of the Agreement for the purpose of modifying and adding certain provisions of and to the Agreement. Initially capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, including Annex A thereto.

 

W I T N E S S E T H :

 

WHEREAS, pursuant and subject to the Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell and the Purchasers have the right to purchase shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of up to $300,000,000; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers desire to modify the Agreement in order to (i) add Robert Barrett as an additional Purchaser of the Preferred Stock, but not of the Notes, (ii) decrease the Commitment Amount for CCP/METROPCS L.L.C., (iii) obtain a waiver with respect to the Company’s use of proceeds from the Subsequent Closing, and (iv) extend the time period during which Purchasers may terminate their respective Commitments and rescind their respective future purchases of Preferred Stock following the Commitment Revocation Date.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Amendment No. 2, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENT

 

Section A. Purchasers and Schedule 1. The Amended and Restated Schedule 1 to the Agreement hereby is further amended to add Robert Barrett as an additional Purchaser of the Preferred Stock (the “New Purchaser”) and to decrease the Commitment Amount for CCP/METROPCS, L.L.C. and the Amended and Restated Schedule 1 to the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the Second Amended and Restated Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto as Schedule 1 to this Amendment No. 2.

 

Section B. Additional Fundings. On December 20, 2000, the New Purchaser shall fund

 

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 1


its pro rata portion of its Commitment Amount in relation to the total Commitment Amount and with respect to the funding for the Subsequent Closing. Such funding shall, for all purposes of the Agreement, be deemed to be included as part of the Subsequent Closing.

 

Section C. Waiver of Use of Proceeds. Purchasers hereby jointly and severally waive the restrictions on the Company’s use of proceeds from the sale of Notes and Preferred Stock set forth in Section 7.4 of the Agreement with respect to the Company’s loan of up to $15,000,000 to its Affiliate, MPCS Wireless, Inc., for the purposes of enabling MPCS Wireless, Inc. to bid in the C and F Block Broadband PCS Spectrum Auction being conducted by the FCC on or about December 12, 2000.

 

Section D. Extension of Termination Rights. Section 2.2(k) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(k) If as of the close of business on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Optional Revocation Date (the “Commitment Revocation Date”) one or more Purchasers have revoked their Commitments (the collective Commitment Amount so revoked being the “Commitment Deficiency”), then the following shall occur:

 

(i) No later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Commitment Revocation Date, the Company shall notify each Purchaser of the aggregate Commitment Amount as of the close of business on the Commitment Revocation Date and any Commitment Deficiency. Except with respect to the Purchaser’s portion of its Commitment Amount attributable to the first $50 million of the aggregate Commitment Amount, each Purchaser shall have the right to terminate its Commitment and rescind its future purchase of Preferred Stock by notice delivered to the Company no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the sixth (6th) Business Day following the Commitment Revocation Date (provided that the Company has delivered its notice pursuant to this paragraph (k) (i)), and such Purchaser’s Commitment shall terminate.

 

(ii) Each Purchaser’s Commitment (including, subject to Section 2.2(i), any Affiliate assignee thereof), which has not been terminated or revoked pursuant to paragraph (j) or (k)(i) above, shall become irrevocable and noncancellable as of the close of business on the sixth (6th) Business Day after the Commitment Revocation Date, provided that the Purchaser’s Commitment shall be subject to cancellation and termination pursuant to paragraph (k)(v) below. During the twelve (12) Business Days following the Commitment Revocation Date, each such Purchaser shall have an exclusive right of first refusal to commit to purchase additional shares of Preferred Stock that are attributable to the Commitment Deficiency by delivering the corresponding additional Commitments to the Company. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable pro-rata, based on the total Commitment Amount for

 

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 2


each Purchaser (inclusive of the original principal amount of the Notes) as of the close of business on the sixth (6th) Business Day following the Commitment Revocation Date.

 

(iii) If as of the close of business on the twelfth (12th) Business Day after the Commitment Revocation Date there still exists any Commitment Deficiency, then the Company shall have the right, during the thirteenth (13th) through the twenty fifth (25th) Business Days following the Commitment Revocation Date, to accept Commitments from additional purchasers of Preferred Stock, subject to the same terms and conditions as the Purchasers, in order to eliminate any remaining Commitment Deficiency. After the Second Preferred Closing, if any additional purchaser delivers a Commitment to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this subsection (k), then such additional purchaser shall fund its purchase of Preferred Stock in respect of a purchase date in a manner that results, after such funding, in such additional purchaser having funded the same percentage of its share of the Commitment Amount as the other Purchasers have funded of their share of the Commitment Amounts (inclusive of the original principal amount of the Notes).

 

(iv) Notwithstanding paragraph (iii) above, if as of 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the twelfth (12th) Business Day after the Commitment Revocation Date the aggregate Commitment Amount is at least $150 million, the Third Preferred Closing involving the purchase of up to $100 million (plus, any amount of the $25 million that has not been funded in connection with the Second Preferred Closing) of Preferred Stock shall occur on the twelfth (12th) Business Day following the Commitment Revocation Date or a later date determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date on which funds are remitted for such Third Preferred Closing shall occur on the later of ten (10) Business Days after the Third Preferred Closing or January 2, 2001.

 

(v) If as of the close of business on the twenty fifth (25th) Business Day after the Commitment Revocation Date the aggregate Commitment Amount is less than $150 million, any remaining unfunded Commitments to purchase Preferred Stock shall be rescinded and cancelled, and all Commitments shall be deemed to have terminated as of the Commitment Revocation Date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the “Commitment Deficiency” for all purposes of the Agreement shall be determined by reference to the Amended and Restated Schedule of Purchasers dated as of November 13, 2000 without giving affect to the amendments to such schedule contemplated by this Amendment No. 2.

AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

dated as of December 19, 2000

 

Reference is hereby made to the SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of July 17, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of November 13, 2000 and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto dated as of December 12, 2000 (as so amended, the “Agreement”), by and among MetroPCS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule 2 thereto (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) and each of the PURCHASERS listed on Schedule 1 thereto (collectively, together with their successors and assigns, the “Purchasers”).

 

This AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of December 19, 2000 (this “Amendment No. 3”) between the Company, the Subsidiaries and each of the Purchasers is entered into pursuant to Section 9.4 of the Agreement for the purpose of modifying and adding certain provisions of and to the Agreement. Initially capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, including Annex A thereto.

 

W I T N E S S E T H :

 

WHEREAS, pursuant and subject to the Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell and the Purchasers have the right to purchase shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of up to $300,000,000; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers desire to modify the Agreement in order to (i) decrease the Commitment Amount for Metro PCS Investors LLC, and (ii) extend the time period during which Purchasers may terminate their respective Commitments and rescind their respective future purchases of Preferred Stock following the Commitment Revocation Date.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Amendment No. 3, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENT

 

Section A. Purchasers and Schedule 1. The Second Amended and Restated Schedule of Purchasers constituting Schedule 1 to the Agreement hereby is amended to decrease the Commitment Amount for Metro PCS Investors LLC and such Second Amended and Restated Schedule of Purchasers is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the Third Amended and Restated Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto as Schedule 1 to this Amendment No. 3.

 

AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 1


Section B. Extension of Termination Rights. Section 2.2(k) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(k) If as of the close of business on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Optional Revocation Date (the “Commitment Revocation Date”) one or more Purchasers have revoked their Commitments (the collective Commitment Amount so revoked being the “Commitment Deficiency”), then the following shall occur:

 

(i) No later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Commitment Revocation Date, the Company shall notify each Purchaser of the aggregate Commitment Amount as of the close of business on the Commitment Revocation Date and any Commitment Deficiency. Except with respect to the Purchaser’s portion of its Commitment Amount attributable to the first $50 million of the aggregate Commitment Amount, each Purchaser shall have the right to terminate its Commitment and rescind its future purchase of Preferred Stock by notice delivered to the Company no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on January 8, 2001 (provided that the Company has delivered its notice pursuant to this paragraph (k) (i)), and such Purchaser’s Commitment shall terminate.

 

(ii) Each Purchaser’s Commitment (including, subject to Section 2.2(i), any Affiliate assignee thereof), which has not been terminated or revoked pursuant to paragraph (j) or (k)(i) above, shall become irrevocable and noncancellable as of the close of business on January 8, 2001, provided that the Purchaser’s Commitment shall be subject to cancellation and termination pursuant to paragraph (k)(v) below. Until and including January 17, 2001, each such Purchaser shall have an exclusive right of first refusal to commit to purchase additional shares of Preferred Stock that are attributable to the Commitment Deficiency by delivering the corresponding additional Commitments to the Company. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable pro-rata, based on the total Commitment Amount for each Purchaser (inclusive of the original principal amount of the Notes) as of the close of business on January 8, 2001.

 

(iii) If as of the close of business on January 17, 2001 there still exists any Commitment Deficiency, then the Company shall have the right, from and including January 18, 2001 through and including February 2, 2001, to accept Commitments from additional purchasers of Preferred Stock, subject to the same terms and conditions as the Purchasers, in order to eliminate any remaining Commitment Deficiency. After the Second Preferred Closing, if any additional purchaser delivers a Commitment to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this subsection (k), then such additional purchaser shall fund its purchase of Preferred Stock in respect of a purchase date in a manner that results, after such funding, in such additional purchaser having funded the same

 

AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 2


percentage of its share of the Commitment Amount as the other Purchasers have funded of their share of the Commitment Amounts (inclusive of the original principal amount of the Notes).

 

(iv) Notwithstanding paragraph (iii) above, if as of 12:00 p.m., New York time, on January 17, 2001 the aggregate Commitment Amount is at least $150 million, the Third Preferred Closing involving the purchase of up to $100 million (plus, any amount of the $25 million that has not been funded in connection with the Second Preferred Closing) of Preferred Stock shall occur on January 17, 2001 or a later date determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date on which funds are remitted for such Third Preferred Closing shall occur ten (10) Business Days after the Third Preferred Closing.

 

(v) If as of the close of business on February 2, 2001 the aggregate Commitment Amount is less than $150 million, any remaining unfunded Commitments to purchase Preferred Stock shall be rescinded and cancelled, and all Commitments shall be deemed to have terminated as of the Commitment Revocation Date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the “Commitment Deficiency” for all purposes of the Agreement shall be determined by reference to the Amended and Restated Schedule of Purchasers dated as of November 13, 2000 without giving affect to the amendments to such schedule contemplated by this Amendment No. 3.

 

ARTICLE II

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Amendment No. 4, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENT

 

Section A. Amendments to Certificate of Designations. Subject to the approval of the holders of not less than (a) a majority of each class of the Company’s outstanding common stock entitled to vote thereon, and (b) 66 2/3% of the Preferred Stock (the “Requisite Stockholder Consent”), the Company shall amend its Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to (i) amend Section 3(c) of the Certificate of Designations to decrease the initial Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock from $338.39 per share to $281.99 per share, and (ii) amend and restate Section 6 of the Certificate of Designations in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“Section 6. Preference upon Liquidation Event or Preferred Co-Sale Event.

 

(a) Liquidation Event. For purposes of this Section 6, a “Liquidation Event” shall mean a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this Company that shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include (i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger, consolidation, issuance of new securities or transfer of issued and outstanding securities) that results in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of the stock of the Company, (ii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iii) a sale or other disposition of assets that results in funds being available for distribution to stockholders which are in excess of those necessary or appropriate for the Company to conduct its business operations (including repayment of its outstanding liabilities) and execute its business plan, as determined by the Board of Directors, unless, in any event, within 30 days after delivery of written notice of any such transaction by the Company to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of 66 2/3% of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding provide the Company with written notice that such transaction shall not be deemed a “Liquidation Event” for purposes of this Section 6. With respect to a Liquidation Event, the Company shall give each holder of the Series D Preferred Stock written notice of any such transaction constituting a Liquidation Event no less than 30 days prior to the occurrence thereof.

 

AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 2


(b) Liquidation Preference (including Participation Rights). The “Liquidation Value” of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be $100 per share. The “Series D Liquidation Preference” for each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall equal the sum of (1) the Liquidation Value, plus (2) the greater of (i) the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, and (ii) the amount that would have been paid in respect of each share of Series D Preferred Stock had such share been converted into Class C Common Stock immediately prior to either the Liquidation Event or the Preferred Co-Sale Event, as applicable, at the then current conversion price. Upon any Liquidation Event, no distributions shall be made to any holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series D Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, all of the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have received payment in full of the aggregate Series D Liquidation Preference.

 

(c) Ratable Distributions. Upon a Liquidation Event, and in the event there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series D Liquidation Preference, then all of the assets available for distribution shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock in proportion to the amount that would be paid to such holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.

 

(d) Preferred Co-Sale Event. For purposes of this Section 6, and for a two year period following the date on which this Amendment One has been filed with Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a “Preferred Co-Sale Event” shall mean a sale of stock of the Company during such two year period that results in the transfer of one percent (1%) or more, but less than fifty percent (50%), of the outstanding voting power of the stock of the Company ; provided, however, that a “Preferred Co-Sale Event” shall not include any transfers of voting stock to a “Permitted Transferee” pursuant to and as defined in Section 4.1 (b), (c) and (d) of the Stockholders Agreement or any transfers of voting stock to comply with the applicable FCC regulations pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Stockholders Agreement; and provided, further that a transfer that would otherwise involve a Preferred Co-Sale Event shall be subject to the “Rights of First Refusal” (as defined and described in Section 4.3 of the Stockholders Agreement). If a prospective Preferred Co-Sale Event occurs or may occur during the applicable two-year period, then at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed transfer, any Stockholders that seek to transfer any shares of voting stock of the Company owned by such Stockholders (each, a “Selling Stockholder”) shall deliver written notice of such Stockholders’ proposal to transfer such voting stock (a “Notice of Intention”), accompanied by a copy of the agreement relating to such transfer with any person, including such person’s identity, the purchase price and all material terms (the “Sale Proposal”), to each of the Series D Preferred Stockholders, setting forth (x) such Selling Stockholders’ agreement to make such transfer (the consideration for which shall be limited to proceeds in the form of cash and/or securities), (y) the number and class of voting security of the Company agreed to be transferred (the “Offered Securities”), and (z) the price at which such Selling Stockholders have agreed to (or are willing to) transfer the Offered Securities (the “Proposed Sales Price”) and other terms applicable thereto.

 

AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 3


For purposes of this Section 6, and with respect to the valuation of securities that will be paid as all or part of the sales proceeds for the transfer of voting stock pursuant to a Preferred Co-Sale Event, the value of such securities as of a particular date shall be determined as follows: (i) if traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the twenty (20) day period ending three (3) days prior to such date; (ii) if traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the twenty (20) day period ending three (3) days prior to such date; and (iii) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If the Company incurs any expenses in connection with such determination, such expenses shall be paid by the Selling Stockholders in proportion to the number of shares of voting stock that each such Selling Stockholder proposes to sell.

 

Notwithstanding Section 4.4 of the Stockholders Agreement, in the event that a Preferred Co-Sale Event occurs and with respect to any or all Offered Securities for which the Rights of First Refusal is not being exercised (the “Co-Sale Stock”), then any Selling Stockholder that wishes to sell all or a portion of its shares of Co-Sale Stock may transfer such available Offered Securities only pursuant to and in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 6(d) of the Certificate of Designations.

 

Each of the Series D Preferred Stockholders shall have the right to participate in the sale of the applicable Offered Securities on the terms and conditions herein stated (the “Preferred Co-Sale Option”), which right shall be exercisable upon written notice (the “Acceptance Notice”) to the Selling Stockholders within ten (10) days after the Selling Stockholders deliver the Notice of Intention to the Series D Preferred Stockholders. The Acceptance Notice shall indicate the maximum number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock that such Series D Preferred Stockholders (each, a “Co-Sale Stockholder”) wishes to sell (including the number of shares it would sell if one or more other Co-Sale Stockholders do not elect to participate in the sale) on the terms and conditions stated in the Notice of Intention.

 

Each Co-Sale Stockholder shall have the right to exercise its Preferred Co-Sale Option and sell a portion of its shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be determined by such Co-Sale Stockholder, which portion may not exceed the product obtained by multiplying (X) the number of Co-Sale Stock that were proposed to be sold by the Selling Stockholder, by (Y) a fraction, (N) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock (on an as converted basis) that all shares of the Series D Preferred Stock held by such Co-Sale Stockholder are convertible into on the date of the Acceptance Notice (as determined in accordance with Section 1.2 of the Stockholders Agreement) and (D) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock (on an as converted basis) then held as of the date of such Acceptance Notice by the Selling Stockholder, plus the total number of shares of Common Stock (on an as converted basis) that all shares of the Series D Preferred Stock held by all of the Co-Sale Stockholders

 

AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 4


desiring to participate are convertible into on the date of the Acceptance Notice (as determined in accordance with Section 1.2 of the Stockholders Agreement). To the extent that one or more Co-Sale Stockholders elect to not exercise their Preferred Co-Sale Option, then the rights of the other Co-Sale Stockholders (who exercise their Preferred Co-Sale Option) to sell shares pursuant to their Preferred Co-Sale Option shall be increased proportionately by the full amount of shares which the non-electing Co-Sale Stockholders were entitled to sell pursuant to this Section 6(d). Within ten (10) days after the date by which the Co-Sale Stockholders were first required to notify the Selling Stockholders of their intent to exercise their Preferred Co-Sale Option, the Selling Stockholder shall notify each participating Co-Sale Stockholder of the number of shares of Co-Sale Stock held by such Co-Sale Stockholder that will be included in the sale and the date on which such sale will be consummated pursuant to this Section 6(d).

 

Each of the Co-Sale Stockholders participating in a sale under this Section 6(d) may effect its participation in such sale hereunder by delivery to the proposed transferee, or to the Selling Stockholders for delivery to the proposed transferee, of one or more instruments or certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing the shares of Series D Preferred Stock it elects to sell therein, provided that no Co-Sale Stockholder shall be required to make any representations or warranties or provide any indemnities in connection therewith other than with respect to its ownership of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock being conveyed. At the time of consummation of the Preferred Co-Sale Event, the proposed transferee shall remit directly to each such Co-Sale Stockholder that portion of the sale proceeds equal to the greater of: (i) the aggregate of the Series D Liquidation Preference for the shares of Series D Preferred Stock being sold by such Co-Sale Stockholder, as calculated with respect to the total sales proceeds for all Co-Sale Stock being sold in connection with such Preferred Co-Sale Event, or (ii) the aggregate of the purchase price per share (on an as converted to Common Stock basis) for the shares of Series D Preferred Stock being sold by such Co-Sale Stockholder.

 

In the event that the sale is not consummated pursuant to this Section 6(d) or the proposed transferee fails to timely remit to each Co-Sale Stockholder its portion of the sale proceeds, then such sale shall be deemed to be void, and any transfers of shares of voting stock pursuant to such sale shall be deemed to be in violation of the provisions of the Certificate of Designations and the Stockholders Agreement, unless the Selling Stockholder once again complies with the provisions of this Section 6(d) with respect to such Offered Securities.”

 

Section B. Additional Condition Precedent to Third Preferred Closing.

 

1. The last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 2.2 (a) of the Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “In connection with the Third Preferred Closing, each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and pay for the Series D Preferred Stock to be sold to such Purchaser at the Third Preferred Closing shall be conditioned upon the following: (1) the satisfaction or waiver, prior to or at the Third Preferred Closing, of the conditions set forth in Sections 3A.1, 3A.2, 3A.3, 3A.10 and 3A.12, provided that each such Section is applied by substituting the “Third Preferred Closing” for any references to the “Subsequent Closing”; (2) the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Consent with respect to (i) the filing of Amendment One

 

AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 5


to Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, and (ii) Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement; and (3) the filing of Amendment One to Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the State of Delaware.

 

2. Section 2.2 (a) of the Agreement is further amended by deleting the proviso at the end of the third sentence in the first paragraph and replacing such proviso with the following language: “provided, however, that the date of such remittance for the Third Preferred Closing shall occur no earlier than February 1, 2001.”

 

Section C. Supplemental Funding for Additional Commitments; Purchaser Transfers to Affiliates.

 

1. Section 2.2 (a) of the Agreement is amended by inserting a new second paragraph after the first paragraph to read as follows:

 

“Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph of this Section 2.2 (a), to the extent that any additional Commitments are accepted by the Company after the Subsequent Closing from either existing Purchasers or new Purchasers of Series D Preferred Stock (each, an “Additional Commitment Amount”), then at the election of Company, as determined by its Board of Directors, each such Purchaser shall fund a proportionate share of its Additional Commitment Amount as a supplemental funding to the Subsequent Closing (the “Supplemental Funding”), so that following such Supplemental Funding all of the Purchasers own their proportionate share of Series D Preferred Stock in relation to their Commitment Amount, the aggregate of all Commitment Amounts and the portion of the aggregate Commitment Amounts that have been and will be funded following such Supplemental Funding. If the Company elects to have a Supplemental Funding, the Company shall provide each participating Purchaser with at least ten (10) Business Days prior notice of the date on which funds for such Supplemental Funding shall be remitted to the Company and the amount each such Purchaser shall fund as part of such Supplemental Funding. If such Supplemental Funding occurs, then such Supplemental Funding shall be deemed to be included as part of the Subsequent Closing for all purposes of the Agreement.”

 

2. Section 2.2(i) of the Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“(i) Any Purchaser may purchase Preferred Stock hereunder in conjunction with only the following: (i) any of its Affiliates, (ii) any of its partners, limited partners or members of such Purchaser that are transferees of Preferred Stock pursuant to distributions in accordance with the partnership agreement or operating agreement of such Purchaser or its Affiliates and (iii) in the case of Pacific, GC Dev. Co., Inc. (and, if it purchases Preferred Stock, shall also constitute a “New Purchaser”); provided, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, that such Purchaser retains the voting rights relating to such Preferred Stock, other than with respect to (x) any transfers by Pacific to its Affiliate, Pacific Capital Partners I, L.P. (also known as Pacific Colony V, L.P.), or to GC Dev. Co., Inc., or (y) any transfers by J.H. Whitney IV, L.P. or Whitney Acquisition II, Corp.

 

AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 6


to one or more of its Affiliates (including Whitney V, L.P.), pursuant to which the respective voting rights will also be transferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, J.H. Whitney IV, L.P. or Whitney Acquisition II, Corp. may not transfer the Preferred Stock or any voting rights in respect thereof to any Affiliate unless such Affiliate and the Company have applied for and received any necessary approvals under the HSR Act, if applicable.”

 

Section D. Elimination of Supermajority Vote Requirement. The second sentence of the second paragraph of Section 2.2(a) of the Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“After the Third Preferred Closing, any demand from the Company to the Purchasers to fund up to the remaining Commitment Amount shall be authorized by a majority of the Board of Directors.”

 

Section E. Addition of Purchaser Funding Option.

 

1. Section 2.2 (a) of the Agreement is amended by deleting the last sentence of the last paragraph of this subsection that reads as follows: “Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2, each Purchaser’s Commitment shall remain in full force and effect for three years from the date of the Subsequent Closing and, to the extent not drawn, shall then terminate.”

 

2. Section 2.2 of the Agreement is further amended by adding the following paragraph (m) at end thereof:

 

“(m) Subject to the conditions set forth below, any Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to fund all of such Purchaser’s remaining unfunded Commitment Amount hereunder for shares of Series D Preferred Stock that have an aggregate liquidation value equal to the amount being funded (the “Purchaser Funding Option”). Each Purchaser’s exercise of its Purchaser Funding Option shall be subject to and conditioned upon the following: (1) such Purchaser shall provide the Company with at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of its intention to exercise its right to fund hereunder; and (2) such Purchaser shall not have breached or otherwise violated the applicable terms of this Agreement. If with respect to the expected capital that is necessary or appropriate for the Company to conduct its business operations (including repayment of its outstanding liabilities) and execute its business plan, as determined by its Board of Directors, the Company acting in good faith and using its best efforts pursuant to this Agreement has established and pursued its obligations to complete any closings for the purchase of the Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with this Agreement (including any Supplemental Funding, the Second Preferred Closing, the Third Preferred Closing or any additional closings) and a Purchaser has not funded the allocable share of its Commitment Amount in connection with any such closings for the purchase of the Series D Preferred Stock, then the Purchaser Funding Option with respect to any remaining unfunded Commitment Amount for such Purchaser shall be canceled and terminated, without otherwise affecting any other rights, obligations or terms of such Purchaser’s Commitment. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2, each Purchaser’s Commitment shall remain in full force and effect for three years from the date of the

 

AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 7


Subsequent Closing and, to the extent not drawn, shall then terminate; provided, however, that the Purchaser Funding Option for each Purchaser shall continue in full force and effect, until such time as the Purchaser notifies the Company of the termination of its Purchaser Funding Option with respect to any remaining unfunded Commitment Amount.”

 

Section F. Delete Purchaser’s Right of First Refusal Section 2.2(k) of the Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“(k) If as of the close of business on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Optional Revocation Date (the “Commitment Revocation Date”) one or more Purchasers have revoked their Commitments (the “Commitment Deficiency” shall mean the uncommitted amount needed to achieve an aggregate Commitment Amount of $300 million, including any Commitment Amount being revoked hereunder), then the following shall occur:

 

(i) No later than 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Commitment Revocation Date, the Company shall notify each Purchaser of the aggregate Commitment Amount as of the close of business on the Commitment Revocation Date and any Commitment Deficiency. Except with respect to the Purchaser’s portion of its Commitment Amount attributable to the first $50 million of the aggregate Commitment Amount, each Purchaser shall have the right to terminate its Commitment and rescind its future purchase of Preferred Stock by notice delivered to the Company no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on January 8, 2001 (provided that the Company has delivered its notice pursuant to this paragraph (k) (i)), and such Purchaser’s Commitment shall terminate.

 

(ii) Each Purchaser’s Commitment (including, subject to Section 2.2(i), any Affiliate assignee thereof), which has not been terminated or revoked pursuant to paragraph (j) or (k)(i) above, shall become irrevocable and noncancellable as of the close of business on January 8, 2001, provided that the Purchaser’s Commitment shall be subject to cancellation and termination pursuant to paragraph (k)(v) below.

 

(iii) If as of the close of business on January 8, 2001 there exists any Commitment Deficiency, then the Company shall have the right, from and including January 8, 2001 through and including February 2, 2001, to accept Commitments from the existing Purchasers and any additional purchasers of Preferred Stock, subject to the same terms and conditions as the Purchasers, in order to eliminate any remaining Commitment Deficiency; provided that the Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide, first, existing Purchasers (relating to such Purchasers’ Commitments) and, next, existing Stockholders with an opportunity to make additional Commitments. After the Second Preferred Closing, if any additional Purchaser delivers a Commitment to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this subsection (k), then such additional Purchaser shall fund its purchase of Preferred Stock in respect of a purchase date in a manner that results,

 

AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – Page 8


after such funding, in such additional Purchaser having funded the same percentage of its share of the Commitment Amount as the other Purchasers have funded of their share of the Commitment Amounts (inclusive of the original principal amount of the Notes).

 

(iv) Notwithstanding paragraph (iii) above, if as of 12:00 p.m., New York time, on January 8, 2001 the aggregate Commitment Amount is at least $150 million, the Third Preferred Closing involving the purchase of up to $100 million (plus, any amount of the $25 million that has not been funded in connection with the Second Preferred Closing) of Preferred Stock shall occur on a date determined by the Company and its Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date on which funds are remitted for such Third Preferred Closing shall occur ten (10) Business Days after the Third Preferred Closing, but in any event no earlier than February 1, 2001.

 

(v) If as of the close of business on February 2, 2001 the aggregate Commitment Amount is less than $150 million, then, except with respect to the Purchaser’s portion of its Commitment Amount attributable to the first $50 million of the aggregate Commitment Amount, any remaining unfunded Commitments to purchase Preferred Stock shall be rescinded and cancelled, and all Commitments shall be deemed to have terminated as of the Commitment Revocation Date.

 

(vi) Within one (1) Business Days after January 8, 2001, the Company shall provide each Purchaser with an Amended and Restated Schedule 1 to the Agreement. To the extent that any Commitments are accepted by the Company after January 8, 2001, then on or before the first (1st) Business Day following February 2, 2001, the Company shall provide each Purchaser with an Amended and Restated Schedule 1 to the Agreement. “

 

Section G. Board of Directors. Section 7.10 of the Agreement hereby is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

“In connection with the Subsequent Closing and pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company shall consist of seven (7) directors, subject to and as determined pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement or the Bylaws of the Company. Thereafter, the Company will take no action to increase the size of the Board of Directors or decrease the number of directors which the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to nominate.”

 

Section H. Amendment to Definition of Qualified Public Offering. The definition of “Qualified Public Offering” set forth in Annex A to the Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Qualified Public Offering” or “Qualifying Public Offering” means an Initial Public Equity Offering which results in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $100 million in the aggregate, and which yields an adjusted equity valuation of two times the liquidation value of the Series D Preferred Stock.
